I just discovered that someone tried to steal my bike. :mad: They seem to have been trying to file out the key hole in the hopes of getting the ignition to turn.

Thankfully, they didn't succeed,...

"Choke" is actually an Enrichment Valve

My understanding (and I am sure someone will come along who understands it better than I do), is that the "choke" on a motorcycle doesn't really work the same way "choke" on a car works. On a car,...

Wrist pain from the angle, not weight

I have some wrist pain, too, so I thought I would share my experience with you, as it seems to differ from previous posters'. I don't really put weight on my arms when I ride.

Anyway, the angle...

It also doesn't help that no one in AZ knows how to drive in the slightest amount of rain, and none of the roads are properly drained.

Some people have responded to this, but I believe it warrants a bit more explanation. The reason everyone is telling you that you should not have sped up is not that they necessarily would have...

I second this. Before I joined this forum, I'd been riding for two years in jeans (got lucky that I never ended up under a car). You guys provide the right kind of peer pressure, and I now ride...

I know I'm in the minority here, but I say go for it. The caveat of course is that you should ride within your limits. Regardless of the size of your engine, if you push past your comfort zone,...

Seriously, try it on first!

No matter how cool a helmet looks, you're not going to wear it if it hurts your head. You need to find one without pressure points, one that fits snugly without hurting, one that won't wiggle loose...

Haven't dropped her yet, but I've had her less than a week. She did get scratched though - the second day I had her home, a fence in the parking lot dinged her. I almost cried!
